New series. First stop: Venice.

Over the next few weeks, I’ll be sharing the places I actually photograph—city by city.

Not the ones from postcards.
The ones that work.

Today’s post kicks off with 5 overlooked locations in Venice that reward light, timing, and patience.
No gondolas. No San Marco. Just real opportunities.

Venice has many secrets — and one of them is edible. 🐟
Sarde in saor is more than a dish. It’s tradition, preservation, sweet-and-sour poetry on a plate.

In this post, I share where to find the best versions in Venice and why they still matter.

🌿✨ Venice Isn’t Just Stone and Water…

Tucked behind palazzi and hidden beyond cloisters, Venice reveals another face — one of calm, greenery, and quiet refuge.

From the shady pines of Sant’Elena to the elegant geometry of Scarpa’s garden, I’ve gathered some of the most beautiful gardens and green spaces in Venice that are open to the public (yes, they exist!).

Whether you're looking to escape the crowds, find a breath of fresh air, or capture something truly unexpected with your camera — these are the places to go.

🪴 Not a guidebook list. A collection of moments.

📍The Venice I See
Tucked away from the crowds, where wisteria leans into the silence and boats nap under pastel walls. This isn’t the Venice of gondolas and crowds—it’s the Venice that lingers, whispers, breathes.

🟣 Not a postcard. A breath between blossoms and bricks.
